Cold chain specialist Envirotainer and CHEP Aerospace Solutions, the unit load device (ULD) management company, have extended their partnership for a further three years.

CHEP provides repair, handling, transportation and storage services for Envirotainer's fleet of air cargo containers across 21 global service centres, which are approved to issue certificates of release to service both under the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

Envirotainer chief executive Simon Angeldorff said: "Envirotainer's partnership with CHEP helps us meet the needs of our customers in terms of reliability and availability, which are key factors to success in the pharmaceutical supply chain."

CHEP Aerospace Solutions president Dr Ludwig Bertsch said: "Envirotainer's containers belong to the high-end part of the ULD sector and require specific repair expertise at consistent high quality which CHEP ensures by investing in continuous training and process development at all our repair centres."
